opticron / kxml Goto Github PK

The documentation is very lacking, and it's almost impossible to use for me because of it. Can I get at least one example program to get a grasp on how it does work, or should I look for some other kind (although uneditable by humans) of data storage.

This would allow to parse HTML5 documents.

I made a few updates on kxml for DMD 2, the code has more strict adherence to the D syntax style but it removes compatibility. I also created a travis test for it.

If you'd like to create a kxml2 repository, perhaps I could make a pull request on it

It would be cool if getAttribute can return a default value if the attribute is not found.

    string getAttribute(string name, string defaultValue = null) 
    {
        if (name in _attributes)
            return xmlDecode(_attributes[name]);
        else
            return defaultValue;
    }

While testing a D port of some C++ XML handling code I noticed that the xmlDecode() function used for entity decoding seems a bit on the slow side.
More specifically, the regex stuff used for decimal/hex entities is making up a large amount of the runtime. (and the XML i'm testing doesn't actually contain any entities to process, so this is a more unfortunate overhead).

Just seems that using a regex for this is less efficient than the manual approach used by other D XML libs?
